You’ve hired. Congratulations!
But what happens next?
For most Kenyan businesses and homes, the answer is: “We just let them start.”
No clear introduction. No contract. No expectations explained.
That’s where things begin to fall apart — sometimes within days.
Why Skipping Onboarding Backfires
Whether it’s a new shop assistant or a househelp, poor onboarding leads to:
- Confusion about tasks or hours
- Friction with existing team or family
- Mistakes that could’ve been avoided
- Early resignations (or ghosting)
- Constant retraining or replacing staff
You end up blaming the hire, but really — it was the process that failed them.
What Professional Onboarding Looks Like (And How to Do It Right)
Here’s a simple checklist used by smart Kenyan employers — and built into NadiServices.com systems:
1. Set Clear Expectations on Day One
✅ What they’ll do daily
✅ Who they report to
✅ Working hours, off days, and performance standards
2. Walk Them Through Their Workspace
✅ Tools, processes, systems
✅ Where things are kept
✅ How to handle clients or children (for househelps)
3. Review Their Contract in Person
✅ Confirm understanding of terms
✅ Answer any questions
✅ Keep a signed copy for reference
4. Check In During the First Week
✅ Ask how they’re adjusting
✅ Correct small issues early
✅ Make them feel supported, not judged
